What to do?

[97cavalier]

Well i have about all the money i need to get my car painted, but i ran into some problems.I can get it painted but my car needs some things. I was thinking about just primer the rest of my car, and fix what needs to be done. What needs to be done is new tires. Which i am getting american racing rims 15x7 in front and 15x8 in back for $275. the rims look like the welds rims, american racing don' make this rim any more. And i also need a new flywheel, mine is cracked and clicks bad so i need to replace it also. And i still have to get my exhaust welded on, and buy my y-pipe for my headers so i can put them on also. I was also going to put a transgo shift kit in when the tranny place did the flywheel. What you guys think?

In memory of my dearly departed (fried) camaro, do the transmission stuff first because it's most important. Then do the exhaust which it needs, and then wheels last. Oh yeah then sand and primer it.

Fix what must be fixed first. Then worry about the fun stuff.

i think it will look cool any ways all primer, it gives it a sleeper look. I think i will do all of that. The tranny is in good shape, it has been fluishe like every 45,000miles. i will probly do my 3.73's also with the mini spool. How do i get the spedo right?

Flywheel. You just want primer so you can be like Rally.

[97cavalier]

can the flywheel hurt anything if it is cracked?

[666_speed]

Yes...or they would sell them cracked to begin with.

[97cavalier]

like what? it has been cracked since i had it.

It will eventually break and you don't want to be around when it does, know what we mean?

Yeah.. because im so cool like that

Anyway 97 if you want some help/tips with sanding ask me anything over aim or msn and i'll help you out, having done it by hand..

[97cavalier]

well i have done the back hatch and the whole front bumper and the roof and the wheel wells already. It did them myself and i sanded them to bare metal and etched primerd them and sealed them. and the front bumper i just got done with, it was spyder webbing So bad so i sanded it down to bare and used a flex primer for it and sealed it. The rest of the car i think i will just sand a little past the clear coat because the rest is not chipping or rusting.but i am shure it will still be every bit of a two day job.

Those are the easy stuff.. well except the roof, that hurt my arm.

Hardest thing was the hood.. damn that hood.

97, word of caution, you are in a much different weather enviornment than Rally, expecially in the coming months, having a car just sitting in primer is not a good idea and stomgly encourage you not to drive it that way when things really start to change to the colder.
